Abstract

The rise of Web Services and their WS-BPEL compositions in recent years makes necessary to pay special attention to testing in this context. Mutation testing is a white box testing technique that has been applied successfully to programs written in different languages. In order to apply it we need a set of mutation operators and a system for mutant generation. This paper introduces a set of mutation operators for the WS-BPEL 2.0 language and a framework, based in genetic algorithms, for automatic mutant generation without rendering all possible mutants. This framework can also detect potentially equivalent mutants.
